The Quick Test and the WAIS Verbal Scale were administered to 30 severely physically handicapped persons in a physical medicine and rehabilitation hospital. There was no significant difference between the mean IQ scores of the QT and the WAIS Verbal Scale. This, coupled with a correlation of .80, supports the authors' hypothesis that the QT can be utilized for a quick assessment of intellectual functioning in the rehabilitation setting.

Screening Device

This study examined the use of the Shipley Institute of Living Scale as a screening device in an intellectually low functioning psychiatric population of 40 inpatients. Shipley IQ scores were significantly correlated .72 with Full Scale WAIS-R IQ scores. There was no significant difference between the mean IQ scores generated from the two measures. These findings suggest that the Shipley scale may be used in this population despite a caution by the test's publisher that the test should not be used in assessing intellectual functioning in individuals with borderline or lower intelligence.

Performance Scale

For a sample of 40 educable retarded children, correlations between WISC IQs and Quick Test IQs were .53 (Verbal Scale), .32 (Performance Scale), and .50 (Full Scale). The QT mean IQ was significantly higher than the mean WISC Verbal and Full Scale IQs; there was no significant difference between the QT mean IQ and the mean WISC Performance IQ, although the correlation between these scales was somewhat lower. The findings suggest that, as with the adult retardate, the Quick Test assesses functional language ability of mentally retarded children moderately well and thus may be used in conjunction with other data for screening purposes.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

The Quick Test and the WAIS-R were administered to 20 male patients (12 black, 8 white) in an urban prison's psychiatric hospital. The mean chronological age of the sample was 29 yr. Strong positive correlations ranged from .64 to .90 between the Quick Test IQs and the WAIS-R Verbal Scale IQs and Full Scale IQs, with a modest relationship to Performance IQs. These findings suggest that the Quick Test provides a reasonable estimate of conventional verbal intelligence for a population in an urban prison's clinical setting.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that can be diagnosed by early onset screening tests. In embryos and newborns with sickle cell syndrome, the anatomic development and brain circulation is less than the normal people, and brain circulation plays an important role in brain development. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of IQ in children with SCD. Patients and Patients and Methods: The study was a descriptive-epidemiologic. The population of the present study was all children aged 7-14 years old with SCD in Ahvaz. The sample of this study was 50 children with SCD. They were selected from among clients referring to the hepatitis clinic of Shafa hospital in Ahvaz. About 50 healthy children were selected from the first or second-degree family members of the patients with SCD as the control group. The data was collected using Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM) and demographic information questionnaire. Results: The mean and standard deviation of IQ scores of the patients with SCD was 94.52 ± 14.41, and the mean and standard deviation of IQ scores of healthy subjects was 105.86 ± 11.38. The results showed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of IQ score (P<0.05). Moreover, the results showed that IQ level in patients with SCD was significant regarding their place of residence (P<0.05), however IQ level was not significant in patients with SCD regarding gender and race (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that IQ in children with SCD is lower than that of the healthy subjects. Thus, the present study showed the importance of SCD on children’s IQ.

Abstract BackgroundComplementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has gained popularity among the general population but its acceptance and use among medical specialists have been inconclusive.MethodsWe conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed and Scopus databases for the acceptance and use of CAM among medical specialists. Each article was assessed by two screeners. Only survey studies relevant to the acceptance and use of CAM among medical specialists were reviewed. The pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using random-effects meta-analyses.ResultsOf 5,628 articles published between 2002 and 2017, 25 fulfilled the selection criteria. Ten medical specialties were included: Internal Medicine (11 studies), Pediatrics (6 studies), Obstetrics and Gynecology (6 studies), Anesthesiology (4 studies), Surgery (3 studies), Family Medicine (3 studies), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (3 studies), Psychiatry and Neurology (2 studies), Otolaryngology (1 study), and Neurological Surgery (1 study). The overall acceptance of CAM was 52% (95%CI: 42-62%). Family Medicine reported the highest acceptance (67%; 95%CI: 60-73%), followed by Psychiatry and Neurology (64%; 95%CI: 35-85%), Neurological Surgery (63%; 95%CI: 43-79%), Obstetrics and Gynecology (62%; 95%CI: 36-82%), Pediatrics (60%; 95%CI: 41-77%), Anesthesiology (52%; 95%CI: 45-58%), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (51%; 95%CI: 42-61%), Internal Medicine (41%; 95%CI: 39-43%), and Surgery (26%; 95%CI: 22-30%). The overall use of CAM was 45% (95% CI: 37-54%). The highest use of CAM was by the Obstetrics and Gynecology (68%; 95%CI: 63-73%), followed by Family Medicine (63%; 95%CI: 58-68%), Psychiatry and Neurology (55%; 95%CI: 35-73%), Pediatrics (44%; 95%CI: 42-46%), Otolaryngology (43%; 95%CI: 30-57%), Anesthesiology (42%; 95%CI: 37-47%), Internal Medicine (38%; 95%CI: 36-41%), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (32%; 95%CI: 24-41%), and Surgery (25%; 95%CI: 22-29%). Based on the studies, meta-regression showed no statistically significant difference across geographic regions, economic levels of the country, or sampling methods.ConclusionAcceptance and use of CAM were moderate and varied across medical specialists.Systematic review registrationThis systematic review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019125628) and the protocol can be accessed at http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.asp?ID=CRD42019125628.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate influence of McKenzie exercises on decreasing the pain in patients with low back pain, to show occurrence of Centralization sign, as a predictor of good treatment outcomes and to evaluate use of McKenzie exercises, as a routine method for lower back pain in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Centres.DESIGN:Clinical, prospective, manipulative study.SETTING:Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic in Community Based Rehabilitation Centers and Institute for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation affiliated with a Medical College Sarajevo.PARTICIPANTS:Thirty-four patients with symptoms of low back pain.INTERVENTIONS:McKenzie exercise program for low back pain were performed individually to the need and possibility of each patient. Patients attended exercise program daily, under supervision of physiatrist and physiotherapist and do it also at home, five times a day in series of 5 to 10 repetition each time, depending of stage of disease and pain intensity. The average training period was 15,5 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:All patients were assessed before and after the treatment. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measured intensity of pain, localization of pain was noted on special forms and Shober test was used to show differences in spinal movement before and after the treatment.RESULTS:Measurements of spinal movements and flexibility of spine showed significant improvement in all patients. Average difference in values of Shober test before and after treatment was 1,1 cm with SD 0,98. Difference test was t=6,263 with significant difference p<0,01. Mean pain intensity was reduced significantly as a result of treatment. Pain was reduced on VAS for X=2,8 with S.D. 1,56. Difference Test was t=10,332, with significant difference p<0.01. 61,5% of total number of participants had signs of centralisation (6% were in acute stage of pain, 32% in subacute and 23,5% in chronic pain). Centralisation sign was noted in 40% of acute patients, 57.5% subacute and 80% of chronic patients with a low back pain who exercised McKenzieprogram.CONCLUSIONS:McKenzie exercises for low back pain are beneficial treatment for increasing flexibility of spine and improving the pain with better results in pain relief. Although done by minimally trained physiotherapists in McKenzie approach, McKenzieexercises are successful method for decreasing and centralising the pain and increasing spinal movements in patients with lowback pain.

Temporal Segment

Vowels were segmented into 15 different temporal segments taken from the middle of the vowel and ranging from 4 to 60 msecs, then presented to 6 subjects with normal hearing. The mean temporal-segment recognition threshold of 15 msecs with a range from 9.3 msecs for the /u/ to 27.2 milliseconds for the /a/. Misidenti-fication of vowels was most often confused with the vowel sound adjacent to it on the vowel-hump diagram. There was no significant difference between the cardinal and noncardinal vowels.
